The reporter learned from China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Railway Group) that from April 17, Railway 12306 began to sell train tickets for the "May Day" holiday, and train tickets for May 1 on the same day.
During the "May Day" holiday, the national railway implements the peak operation map, does everything possible to tap the transportation potential, makes full use of the lines, stations, EMUs, general-speed vehicles and other capacity resources, and arranges about 11,000 passenger trains per day on the basic operation map, and adopts the methods of adding temporary passenger trains, reconnecting EMUs, and adding carriages to general-speed passenger trains to maximize passenger seats. Run special tourist trains between popular tourist cities to create new consumption scenarios and help the development of holiday tourism economy. Scientifically analyze the data of railway 12306 advance tickets and standby ticket purchases, dynamically optimize and adjust the train operation plan, and add passenger trains on popular routes, directions and time periods in a timely manner, and strive to meet the holiday travel needs of passengers.
In response to the reflection on the Internet about "some trains on sale during the May Day holiday", the person in charge of the passenger transport department of the China Railway Group said that the "May Day" holiday passenger travel is highly concentrated, and the contradiction between capacity and demand is very prominent, resulting in a shortage of tickets in local areas and periods, especially on some popular directions of the line, some trains with more suitable departure and arrival times and shorter travel time are the preferred travel options for many passengers. When the tickets for these trains are on sale, due to the very high attention of the majority of passengers, passengers will choose 12306 online ticket purchase, mobile APP, station windows and other ticketing channels to quickly "grab tickets", and there may be a "second light" phenomenon. To this end, it is recommended that passengers can choose off-peak travel according to the availability of tickets in different time periods and directions, or choose to purchase tickets by waitlist ticket purchase, transfer transfer, etc., so as to increase the success rate of ticket purchase. The railway department will also dynamically optimize and adjust the train operation plan according to the data of railway 12306 advance ticket and standby ticket purchase, and increase the number of passenger trains on popular routes, directions and time periods in a timely manner, so as to meet the holiday travel needs of passengers.
The railway department reminds that the railway 12306 website (including the mobile client) is the only official train ticket online ticketing platform of China Railway, and has never authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets. Passengers who purchase tickets through third-party platforms will not only encounter "traps" such as surcharges and bundled sales of services, but also may have the risk of personal privacy information leakage. Please be sure to purchase tickets through the official channels of the railway, look for the official website of 12306 and the official APP of "Railway 12306", and confirm that the payee of the ticket is "China Railway Network Co., Ltd.", so as to avoid not receiving the refund when you need to refund or change the ticket in the future.
